A 70 year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a 3-month history of abdominal pain, weight loss and night sweats. On physical examination, she presented with a 5 cm diameter abdominal mass extended from epigastrium to the left flank, and at least three bilateral supraclavicular adenopathies. A disseminated interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma was diagnosed through a biopsy of the abdominal mass. After that, a CHOP regime (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone) was iniciated. She died after completion of the first cycle of treatment, six months after diagnosis.

A 60-year-old male was admitted for obstructive jaundice secondary to a 2 cm retroperitoneal lesion. Ultrasound endoscopy (UES) with fine needle biopsy (FNB) was performed, as well as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with placement of a metal stent for bile duct drainage. Initially IgG4-related disease was suspected from FNB.

Article Synopsis
- - Producing accurate 3D models from biological images, especially of complex brain structures, requires extensive human effort to annotate data, which is time-consuming and typically done by experts.
- - The authors developed a new deep learning method that allows for quick 3D segmentations using minimal 2D annotations, dramatically reducing the time required to create training data.
- - This innovative approach enables non-experts to generate necessary annotations efficiently, making it easier to study brain circuits and their connections across larger datasets.

Interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS) is a rare and aggressive neoplasm classified within the M-group of malignant histiocytoses. Its diagnosis poses a significant challenge. This article aims to describe a rare clinical case of IDCS and to illustrate the differential diagnostic process undertaken by the authors in establishing this diagnosis.

Interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma is a rare, aggressive hematological malignancy primarily originating in lymph nodes, with only 10 reported cases presenting in the skin (primary cutaneous interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma). Past presentations showed erythematous nodules on the proximal extremities, back, or face. Morphologically, these neoplasms are similar to melanomas and other dendritic cell (DC) tumors, making their diagnosis difficult.
